Blue Ribbon’s clam stew is a heartier take on the classic chowder. In addition to the usual clams, onions and potatoes, the recipe incorporates carrots, green beans and tomatoes. To thicken the mixture to stew consistency, the kitchen blends in mashed potatoes along with cream. Serve with garlic bread for a complete seafood meal in a bowl.

1 small baked potato, diced

2 cups seafood or vegetable stock

2 cups heavy cream

1 cup water

2 cups mashed potatoes
